I’m listening to blank check and they are harping on the racist aspects of the voice acting of nute gunray, watto and jarjar, but I unknowingly happened upon a long interview with the voice actor for jar jar a couple years ago, including the lead up to him getting the part and the character and voice development, and now it...
Discounting is the perfect word , as “accidental racism” lacks credibility as an argument to legitimize an attack on the characters and voice actors. None of the “racist” complaints have anything to do with race, but if you want them to be racist and you have the believies, you can make them so.
Importantly, you are ignoring that none of the fan complaints are about “accidental racism”, they are outraged by ostensibly conscious choices. They are assuming and acting upon the assumption these choices were made in bad faith. You’re changing the goalposts to “all racism is bad”, full stop. Which, yea, but nobody argued racism wasn’t “bad”.
Your arguments gel precisely with fan consensus: we don’t have much to say about a bland movie, so let’s complain about something we know everyone can get behind, regardless of its merit. At least we have a mob.
Fan theories about racist caricatures in phantom menace do not hold water
